“Half Hollywood” will attend over the next few weeks ‘The Anthill’, as Pablo Motos himself announced a few days ago. Patrick Dempsey, Eddie Redmayne, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Robbie Williams will soon be on the Antena 3 program. A powerful flow of international guests that began this Thursday, November 21, with the visit of Hugh Grant.
The iconic British actor, who made his debut on the Antenna 3 In 2016, he returned for the premiere of his new project in movie theaters. It is about ‘Heretic‘, a film in which he brings out his most sadistic and twisted side. Grant is placed under the orders of Scott Beck and Brian Woods to play the diabolical Mr. Reed. Accustomed to seeing him play the role of romantic comedy heartthrob, this role gives him the opportunity to surprise in a very different register. “You sound like a favorite for the Oscars,” Motos noted. A compliment that the actor appreciated, although downplaying it, “I’m not sure if that’s true.”
«It’s a horror movie. Or let’s say, psychological tension, because there are people who, if you say terror, are too afraid. “In fact, I’ve been afraid of horror movies since I was little,” the guest explained. «I saw ‘The Exorcist’probably too small. And since then, the demon has been chasing me, I am possessed,” he said with humor.
The presenter then asked him to develop the argument of ‘Heretic’ to open your mouth. And so he did. «The story is that two girls are Mormon missionaries who are touring a city near Colorado trying to explain their religion to people. The last house they call is mine. I seem very charming and very nice, very intelligent. Interested in the Mormon religion. I ask you to come in, we begin to have a very pleasant conversation about religion. Until very little by little they begin to realize that I am not what I seem. And things are starting to get scarier and scarier.” “She’s wonderful,” stressed the actor, who demonstrated a great sense of humor throughout the interview.
Hugh Grant and romantic comedies
The driver of ‘The Anthill’ He then became interested in whether he had discovered something about himself doing evil. To which he replied again, using wit, that “I love to kill.”
«All actors learn things when they make films. “If you want to be charming, the only thing you would have to do is copy things from your romantic comedies,” Motos continued, interested in whether after ‘Heretic’, Hugh Grant He has learned ways to intimidate. “What I try to do throughout the movie, even when things get dark, and there’s fear and violence, is keep a light tone,” he revealed. He thought that would make it even scarier. «This man really believes that everyone is having a good time, both he and the girls. Even when diabolical things start happening downstairs…” he dropped.
He also opened up about his career, confessing that “I spent too much time doing romantic comedies,” since he became known to the general public thanks to his role as Charles in ‘Four weddings and a funeral’in 1994. “I’m very proud of most of those films, although there are one or two that aren’t very good,” he clarified.
However, he thought when he was young that he was good at creating diverse characters. «I loved getting into other characters. And now that fortunately, I’m too old to star in romantic comedies, they are offering me these weird characters, strangers, monsters, etc. ” And he is delighted with that, because “I feel like I have finally found my place.”
